We messed up our arrival dates and they booked us on another day without any extra costs, which was fantastic and very kind of them. Communication was always super fast and friendly. The hotel itself was very modern, cosy and in a great location! We loved everything about our stay! Thank you for having us.

I stayed first in Room 111, which was very fine, with a view over the High St and a proper bath tub. It was spacious, well equipped and confortable. I liked the calm, efficient and customer-focused atmosphere of the hotel. The large common guest lounge on the ground floor was a real asset. After a few days, I was joined by a friend with mobiluity issues and we moved to two courtyard rooms. The rooms were not as fine as 111 but very practical with easy stepfree ground floor access to the car park. The hotel listened to and accommodated our mobility needs. Very pleasant staff. My favourinte Dorchester hotel in its class (and 111 is my favourite hotel room). Bus stops to a number of destinations around and a bit further from Dorchester were pretty right outside (or just opposite) the hotel so this hotel and it was on the high street and close to facilities (but I wasn't at all disturbed by street noise).

The location was perfect ; we nearly stayed in Dorchester itself because we thought there would be more going on etc. We couldn't have more wrong. The location of Dairyman Suite was gorgeous. Dorchester itself was a huge disappointment and what we needed an wanted ( great place to stay and wonderful pub/restaurant with a garden - only five minutes away. The suite is gorgeous - everything and anything you could want. It was amazing for the price ! The owners are lovely - so friendly and anything we needed - but who needed anything more than was had already !?

Wasn't sure what to expect but have to say Dorchester wasn't very inspiring as towns go. Two railway stations, both a fair walk from the main town streets. There's a museum and gallery but it was £15 to get in so I didn't bother. Not very exciting shops, I believe there's probably an out of town retail park but hard to access if you don't have a car.

Plenty of parking. Good selection of shops. Fair amount of attractions e.g. Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, within 45 minutes drive away. Local bus service seemed available for some of them. Attractive countryside.

Dorchester is a quaint town that is always a pleasure to visit. It has a brilliant market and there are plenty of shops to visit. It it well served with different museums and the Tutankhamun and Terracotta Army ones are a definite visit for me. There are also plenty of cafes to have some amazing food.

Dorchester is far too quiet, we tried to get a drink in a hotel bar at 10pm and they had shut. All of the other pubs were shut too. Where we parked our car, several drunk men were staggering around, and this was at 2:30pm.

Westwood house was a charming Hotel / Inn from which to explore Dorchester and surroundings. Surprisingly quiet despite its Highstreet location, easy access to reasonably priced parking at the Top of Town car park (though we mostly motored around during the day). Rooms are top notch on par with most four star hotels, breakfast is excellent and hosts are charming. Win-win!

Everything about our stay was excellent! Great value for money, exceptionally high standard of furnishings and comfort. Spotlessly clean. Very easy self check-in and out process. Ample free parking on site. Wonderful friendly staff and THE BEST breakfast the next morning! Great location for exploring beautiful Dorset and all it has to offer.

Very friendly reception staff. The hotel is clean and the room was very cosy with a modern bathroom. The location for the hotel was central to Dorchester. With no parking for the hotel, I parked in the top o' town car park which was very safe and was 3 nights for £12 which is reasonable. The car park is also 20 seconds away from the hotel.

Great breakfast every day, very friendly staff. Hotel location on the high street meant everything in town was within walking distance, and Dorchester’s central location in Dorset made it easy to get to other places we wanted to visit.
